Personal DiariesThere may be times when you simply want to share something that is going on in your life, and it's not always easy to figure out which part of the forum it might fit into. In this part of the forum, members are encouraged to create a thread where anything that is going on in your life is on-topic. We strongly encourage you to use your member name in the subject line and, for those who are prolific in their diary section, we can create sub-forums for specific topics. In other words, one thread per member; if you need more, contact the Forum Administrator so that he can create a sub-forum.Thu, 21 Mar 2019 17:15:26 +0000Thu, 21 Mar 2019 17:15:26 +0000SENIORSonly CLUBhttp://www.seniorsonly.club/forums/personal-diaries/

Next year it might not have any. The pears are very small when there are this many, and they aren't very good anyway. My mother loved to give them to the goats as treats. I'm not sure Rusty (our last goat) will even eat them. He is very...

Example: I was told that I talk to 'them' like they were children/child. I didn't think so but it made me more conscientious about how I talk to adults. I wondered in what way - was it the words that I chose - was it the tone in my voice? Needless to say I couldn't figure it out so I'm sure I'll hear it again.]]>13Yanks In BritainSun, 02 Dec 2018 08:27:25 +0000http://www.seniorsonly.club/threads/yanks-in-britain.10595/

A man is doing his weekly shopping including his favourite beer since there's no-one else doing it for him. "Hi, my name is Doe. I'm gonna shop here." I usually buy two beer cases at a time especially when the brand is on special offer helping me save 10 bucks. Looking for my beer I went right to the corner of the drinks cash 'n' carry where I can usually find it but the familiar label...

Now, it is growing out, and I am at the point where I NEED to do something with it. I am tired of the blonde, and if I just let it grow out, then it will have yellow ends on it forever; so I do not want to do that either.
I started looking at silver hair colors because I think if I do that, then when it...

I just came across my first grade report and there was a lovely note on it from my teacher saying how well I was doing in learning English.

It also seems my name got changed somewhere from Christina to Christine, I'm not sure where or when it happened.

Here is a photo of that report card...

That’s what she said. But it’s not what I heard, because she murmured those words in a hormone-heated burning-velvet voice that could make “NO!” sound like, “Yes, of course, darling.”

So naturally I said, still smiling hugely, “What? Good what?”

But by then she had turned into a door. Specifically, the just-closed door of room 626, Dane’s room, in the luxurious Halcyon Hotel, a new thousand-room hostel cloaked in lush and softly-illumined greenery,...

I'm not from here, and to the best of my knowledge don't have any cousins etc. in the entire state.
When I was a child, my mother remarked a couple of times that everybody has a 'twin,' but I thought it was just old-fashioned superstition.

WonderI didn’t think I would use a diary after my last attempt, it seemed to just contain pain. So I ended up shutting up and walking away from it, and two years later, I find that was a good decision.

But without a spouse with which to discuss the merits, or the lack of, whatever ideas that pop into my head at any given moment, I now find I have no one to bounce my thoughts around with. I’ve always had ideas, and Michael was always the voice of reason.

So I’ve decided to see if I can...
